Hello
I'm from Estonia. I play B-system CBA since 2010. I started to learn accordion in 2002 when I was 12 years old. I studied PA in childrens music school but when I was in grade C1(third year) my teacher told me that I should try CBA. Sadly we didn't have working instrument and I continued to play PA. In 2008 I discovered Dutch accordion players from youtube nad decided that I must switch to CBA. Actually I grew up with Dutch accordion music, my grandfather played accordion and listened accordion music quite much. He had cassete tapes with "Die Kirmesmusikanten" it was my favourite tape. He and I thought that it was german accordion duo but every time when we listened some other german accordion tape I wondered why it sound so different. My father had Die Kirmesmusikanten also on reel-to-reel tapes. It was maybe in 2006 or 2007 when I got internet connection and got access to youtube and then I discovered that I almost always listened Dutch accordion music and almost nothing else. Die Kirmesmusikanten was actually De Kermisklanten thats why german accordion tapes sound different
Actually I listened exclusively Dutch music - Georg Baker Selections, Pussycat, BZN, Teach-In and others. It is interesting that very much Dutch music circulated in Estonia when Estonia was in soviet union. So thats why I like Dutch accordion players style very much. CBA in Estonia is not very popular we have only mostly classical academic accordion players who play CBA but in jazz and other popular styles PA is dominant. I choosed B-system CBA becase it is only option if you want some cheap used instrument in here, when Estonia was in USSR only B-system was played here since it also played in Russia. Actually B-system was right choice for me because quite soon I discovered that it is possible to get very good B-system instruments with actually very good prices from nowhere else but Holland 
I bought second hand Accordiola Jazzmaster from there last year. With C-system my changes would have been much smaller to get decent instrument with affordable price. I'm not good player at all because I haven't studied CBA with professional teacher and in here we don't have CBA teachers who accept some other styles than classical. Triple musette is not very popular in Estonia, actually many players even professional ones don't know what is authentic musette and gladly play with 8-8-4.
Thats little intro about me.
